Absolutely weird?

After all that work, I thought I would... sleep for a long time.  Then I remembered dinner would be arriving.  For those of you who don't know, because sometimes I get so bad that I can end up not eating for a week or two at a time, local folk have gone in to helping me get fed.  I have to admit, this has been, and is, probably a big part of how I am getting back on my feet.  It means I never have to go more than a few days without food in the worst of times.  And in the best of times I get at least a meal a day.  That and medicine is what is helping me turn a... pretty much medically... impossible corner.  Anyway, so I set the alarm for 17:30, so as to be awake for it.  I wasn't sure that would work, but I wanted to try.

I woke, to turn off the alarm, and rested for another half an hour.  I thought the pain would be back by then anyway, so would need another shot of the stuff.  As it turned out, I am fully rested and in no pain.  Well, mostly.  A rough patch on the right elbow from one of my crab-crawls under the sink.  A very minor muscle soreness in my left thigh oddly, very minor.  The rest?  It seems it is... healed.  Oh, I'm probably not going to do anything for a bit.  I will be up for a few more hours, then take another nap, most likely, before... beginning on the last water heater.  After that, until the other toilet arrives, I will spend my energy on cleaning.  Hmm... I... prefer working on water heaters, to be absolutely honest.  But an ogre must do what an ogre must do.

Oh, and the plants are doing very well, very well indeed!  I have gone ahead and trimmed some of the first leaves on some of the plants, to... what?  establish more bulk rather than pure height?  Something.  I waited until there was enough second growth to sustain the green critters, and then more when I noticed again.  I've been keeping up on watering, but there isn't much else to do with them.  I could have trimmed more, earlier, but that wasn't a primary concern and I do have a lot on my plate... not an excuse, just a reality.  I should have some fine peppers and tomatoes this year.  And maybe a few other things.  Not bad, not bad at all.

I'm almost alive again.  I won't lie to you.  It is murder hard for me to be doing these things.  I am doing them when and how I can, at odd hours, without concern for anything else.  I realized today that I have missed my medicines for almost three days!  Sometimes that can be brutal on me all by itself.  Yes, yes, I have restarted them.  I guess I am amazed at... how everything is working, regardless of what could or does go wrong.  As I suggested in a comment, I haven't been/felt fully awake for over 30 years now.  Not one day, not one moment, I haven't been haunted by exhaustion, a sense that I need more sleep.  Sleeping a full year did not fix that, nothing has.  I am still that way.  Try getting only three hours of sleep a night... forever.  This isn't easy.  Maybe I will work my way out of it, in time?  When I say I feel rested, just... understand... that is a relative term.  No pity, don't need it, can't use it.  I just want these efforts framed in the right perspective.

Later.

One last thing...  I have finally... christened the loo... in the way that is important to me.  And, if that is how it always works?  I'm in love.  I have dubbed her the U.S.L. (U.S. Loo) Skitterbottom!  Probably best that you missed the christening ceremony itself, per se.  :)
